Malawi, located in Southern Africa east of Zambia, is slightly smaller than Pennsylvania. Its highly tropical climate features a rainy season from November to May and a dry season from May to November. Its terrain includes a narrow elongated plateau, rolling plains and some mountains. The eastern/central area of the country is dominated by Lake Malawi, the third largest lake in Africa. Natural resources include limestone, arable land, hydropower, uranium, coal, and bauxite.

Normally self-sufficient in food, especially maize, the main staple, Malawi is facing its worst famine in more than 50 years. Although most people engage in farming, the government is struggling to feed its people. About 70% of the 6 million Malawians who live below the poverty line are in danger of starvation. The situation was aggravated by the sale of strategic grain reserves in 2000, allegedly on the advice of IMF/World Bank experts. Very little money was collected from the sales and there were no reserves to meet the shortfall which followed two years of drought and a disastrous harvest.
Under pressure from the World Bank, the government has been trying to increase incentives to small landowners. However, rural households are still impoverished, especially as funds sent home by migrant laborers have declined. The distribution of land in many areas remains a major challenge.

Malawi has around 38,000 Telephone lines and 36,000 Internet users
